Upgrades and New Tools

Cris strode into the Training Ground, bare-chested, his defined abs and sculpted muscles on full display—a testament to his new, enhanced body. Earlier, Trixie had helped him repair the old training dummy, and now that it was fully functional, he was putting his strength to the test.

Without his armor weighing him down, he moved with fluid agility, his movements a blend of raw power and precision. He launched into an intense sparring session against the dummy, delivering swift, controlled strikes.

Each blow was infused with the muscle memory of its former life, and as he fought, his strength seemed to boost even further. The dummy flew backward with each hit until, with one final, powerful swing of his hand, Cris sent it crashing to the ground.

Just then, a system notification flashed before his eyes:

[Workshop Upgrade Completed!]

Curious, Cris clicked on the workshop blueprint. The 3D hologram updated instantly: the blueprint now revealed additional storage doors and an expanded worktable area.

A new reward had also been added—a specialized suit for the face, designed to filter the toxic air outside.

Cris grinned. "That's what I'm talking about!"

He quickly accepted the reward. The new suit materialized in his inventory, promising him safe passage when he finally ventured outside.

As he examined the updated blueprint further, a small icon in he's inventory caught his eye—a stone labeled "RAMS." Intrigued, he called out, "Trixie, what is this RAMS stone?"

Trixie appeared immediately. "Master, this is a rare mineral known as RAMS.

Its properties make it an excellent material for repairing and reinforcing broken weapons—especially useful for fixing Titan Fang."

Cris nodded appreciatively. "Now that's exactly what I need. I love this system!"

Energized by the new upgrades, Cris made his way to the workshop proper. The transformation was remarkable: the room now featured a dedicated storage area brimming with supplies, a large, modern worktable, and even a refurbished display where his damaged sword—Titan Fang—was resting, awaiting repair.

While surveying the space, Cris noticed several new tools neatly arranged on a bench. He pointed at the first one and asked, "Trixie, what's this tool?"

Trixie responded, "That is Tred. It resembles an automated tool designed to repair robotic components—essentially an 'automatic tooth' that can fix chips and small circuits in our systems."

Cris then gestured toward the next item. "And this one?"

"This is Drex," Trixie explained. "It functions like a computer with an articulated interface—a mechanical hand, if you will—that can execute complex commands to build or modify items."

Finally, he pointed to a robust tool that lay at the center of the workbench. "And this one?"

Trixie's voice was clear: "That, Master, is the Block Hammer—the essential tool you need for reforging Titan Fang."

Cris rubbed his temples with a grin. "Alright, that's enough new tech for now. My mind's about to explode. Let's focus on our goal: fixing Titan Fang."

Trixie replied in her usual calm tone, "As you wish, Master."

With renewed determination, Cris picked up Titan Fang from its stand.

The journey to restore this legendary weapon had just begun, and he knew that with his upgraded workshop and newfound tools, he's now ready to what's await outside of the shelter.
